Webinar: Global Disability Summit: a unique opportunity for business to engage

The Global Disability Summit (GDS) is a unique worldwide mechanism that improves the lives of persons with disabilities, especially from the Global South. Created in 2017, GDS convenes global, regional, and national stakeholders, including businesses, that share the goal of disability-inclusive development. 

GDS provides a unique opportunity for businesses to engage with multiple stakeholders to come together to generate strong political traction for disability inclusion and align for systemic and tangible change. 

Co-hosted by Germany, Jordan, and the International Disability Alliance (IDA), the Third GDS will take place on 2-3 April 2025 in Berlin, Germany. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, His Majesty King Abdullah II and the UN Deputy Secretary-General will inaugurate the Summit. 

This ILO GBDN webinar, supported by GIZ, provided further information about the GDS, why businesses should engage and how they can do it.
